一名突尼西亞社運人士，從加薩船隊英雄到入獄絕食抗議者的歷程

突尼斯市9月23日（路透社）——一年前，瓦埃爾・納瓦爾（Wael Naouar）站在突尼西亞地中海沿岸西迪布賽義德港的一艘船甲板上，向數以千計支持者揮手，隨後啟航，試圖突破以色列海上封鎖，將人道援助送往加薩。TUNIS, Sept 23 (Reuters) - A year ago, Wael Naouar stood on the deck of a boat at Sidi Bou Said port on Tunisia's Mediterranean coast, waving to thousands of supporters before setting off to try to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza by breaking Israel's naval blockade.

如今，納瓦爾在突尼斯市郊一座監獄展開無限期絕食已超過一個月，要求撤銷對他與另外3名一同被捕社運人士的財務不當行為指控。Today, Naouar is more than a month into an open-ended hunger strike in a prison outside Tunis, demanding that the charges of financial misconduct against him and three other activists arrested with him be dropped.

納瓦爾的母親哈米達・德里迪在家中接受路透社訪問時，坐在兒子的大幅照片前哭著說：「我不明白他們為什麼逮捕他。我兒子沒有做錯任何事。」"I don't understand why they arrested him. My son did nothing wrong," Naouar's mother, Hamida Dridi, told Reuters during an interview in the family home, weeping as she sat before a large photograph of her son.

批評人士說，這些逮捕行動標誌著針對社運人士、記者與反對派政治人物的打壓行動又到了一個新階段。這些人在2011年「阿拉伯之春」民主抗議後蓬勃發展，但自總統凱斯・賽義德（Kais Saied）2021年集權以來成為目標。Critics say the arrests mark another milestone in a campaign against activists, journalists and opposition politicians, who flourished after 2011 "Arab Spring" pro-democracy protests but have been targeted since President Kais Saied accumulated power in 2021.

政府否認相關起訴具有政治動機；賽義德則表示，自由受到保障，司法獨立，沒有人凌駕於法律之上。The government denies the prosecutions are political and Saied says freedoms are guaranteed, the judiciary is independent, and no one is above the law.

與以色列士兵對峙影片在網路流傳VIDEO OF CONFRONTATION WITH ISRAELI SOLDIERS SPREADS ONLINE

納瓦爾長期投入政治行動，也是突尼西亞當局的批評者。他過去20年一直抗議失業問題並追求社會正義，直到加薩戰爭期間才將關注轉向巴勒斯坦事業。A longtime political activist and critic of Tunisia's authorities, Naouar had spent two decades protesting against unemployment and pursuing social justice before shifting his attention to the Palestinian cause during the war in Gaza.

他的船是數十艘參與「全球堅毅船隊」（Global Sumud Flotilla）倡議的船隻之一；這項倡議也有瑞典社運人士葛蕾塔・童貝里（Greta Thunberg）參與。以色列士兵攔截納瓦爾的船時，一段顯示他與士兵對峙的影片在網路上廣泛流傳。When Israeli soldiers intercepted his boat, one of a few dozen that sailed as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla initiative that also included Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, a video clip showing him confronting them spread widely online.

納瓦爾今年3月與另外3名「堅毅船隊」組織者被拘留，罪名是洗錢及不當使用捐款；4人均否認指控。Naouar was detained in March with three other Sumud Flotilla organisers on charges of money laundering and misuse of donated funds, which they all deny.

在突尼西亞，包括當局在內，社會廣泛支持巴勒斯坦事業；但被捕男子的律師說，他們因為其社會行動與知名度而成為目標。當局表示，此案屬於非政治性的司法與財務調查。There is broad support in Tunisia for the Palestinian cause, including from authorities, but the arrested men's lawyers say they are being targeted over their activism because of their popularity. Authorities say the case is part of an apolitical judicial and financial investigation.

納瓦爾的律師、家屬及公民團體表示，他的健康狀況已經惡化。突尼西亞人權聯盟主席巴塞姆・特里菲（Bassem Trifi）說，他「健康狀況非常危急，瀕臨死亡」。Naouar's lawyer, family members and civil society groups say his health has deteriorated. He is "in a very critical health condition and on the verge of death," said Bassem Trifi, president of the Tunisian League for Human Rights.

監獄發言人未立即回應媒體對納瓦爾案情與健康狀況的詢問。A prison spokesperson did not immediately reply to requests for comment on Naouar's case and condition.

拘留引發抗議DETENTION DRAWS PROTESTS

納瓦爾遭拘留已在首都市街頭引發抗議，包括上週一場最後導致14人被捕的示威。Naouar's detention has inspired protests in the streets of the capital, including one last week that ended with 14 arrests.

突尼西亞藝術家穆尼爾・特魯迪（Mounir Troudi）在那場抗議中說：「他正在絕食，而當局什麼都沒做。」"He is on hunger strike, and the authorities are doing nothing," Tunisian artist Mounir Troudi said at that protest.

對納瓦爾的家人而言，政治論辯不如他能否活著回家這個問題迫切。For Naouar's family, the political arguments are less urgent than the question of whether he makes it back home alive.

他的母親說：「笑聲不見了。我們家的氣氛也不見了。」"The laughter is gone. The atmosphere in our family is gone," his mother said.

他的弟弟納比勒說，如果納瓦爾發生任何事，他會認為總統與司法部應負責。His brother, Nabil, said that if anything happened to him he would hold the president and justice ministry responsible.

在突尼西亞，媒體沒有可直接聯繫總統府或司法部的管道。總理辦公室未立即回應媒體詢問。In Tunisia, there is no direct line of contact for media to the presidency or justice ministry. The prime minister's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
